Thad's

Thad's is a long-running, invitation-only swingers club operating from a private residence at 3517 E St in San Diego's Mount Hope neighborhood. The club has operated since 1973, making it one of the longest-running lifestyle clubs in Southern California. There is no online booking or email sign-up — prospective guests call ahead the same evening to speak with a hostess and receive a same-night invitation. The venue operates as an on-premise facility rather than a purpose-built nightclub; one visitor account describes an unassuming, ranch-style house with an old-school, no-frills atmosphere and an active outdoor area. Inside, the layout includes private rooms, group play rooms, a couples-only area upstairs, a dance floor with two poles, a pool table, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, fire pits, and free lockers. The club provides a self-service bar with cups and ice, but alcohol itself is BYOB. Parties run Wednesday through Saturday evenings, with guests calling ahead to reserve a same-night invitation. The dress code is strict: men must be completely nude and women may wear lingerie or revealing attire, but no street clothes, dresses, or T-shirts. Entry pricing is quoted only by phone and varies with recurring promotions, including an early-bird discount and periodic half-off specials. The upstairs area is reserved for couples and single women — single men are not permitted there under any circumstance — and the club asks single guests to be respectful rather than pushy toward couples or single women.
